Just ordered a couple of sleeping bags for DD, total cost of order £31, p&p just under £8.

BUT when the ack comes through the email it says £231 - apparently P&P is £200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say I've cancelled the order and contacted Amazon, just wondered if anyone else has had a problem?

Get them sent to a UK rellie, then get said rellie to forward by sea mail. Much cheaper.

I'm pretty sure you should be able to get a good bag in Australia for not too much money. Everyone's having sales right now ... retail is dead.

$80 for a grobag here

trying to avoid getting rellies to send as they've sent me loads lately that i've ordered off amazon....

You were going to get a couple of sleeping bags shipped 9,000 miles from Amazon ??

Don't you have a Ray's Outdoors in WA ? Cheap as chips over here in Victoria

Buy them off ebay Bridie. Save yourself the fuss.

Ebay would be a good idea.

I'm sure there are other sites that you could shop on. I know there's this one:
http://www.downundercamping.com.au/home.php?cat=393

Never ordered from it, but there must be some sites you could use. There's always local camping stores, Big W or KMart.

Never heard of Rays Outdoors.....

BTW I'm talking about babies sleeping bags like this, not general sleeping bags.... http://www.grobag.com.au/range_pages.aspx?id=8

Yes, always order stuff off Amazon as it is miles cheaper than anything we get over here. Might have to resort to Ebay though if I dont get a reply quering the delivery. Had another look at their amazon store and it says shipments to Aus are £200..... must have clicked the wrong bit when I checked before ordering...

There were some of those baby/small child colourful ones advertised in either PillowTalk or KMart or Target at the weekend. Only about 20 bucks.

Have you tried searching for a store near you?

Surely you could just call up a store, tell them what you want and have them ship it to you.

I see only one location in Perth (I know you're not in Perth though). Around me there are quite a few that might be the type of store you could call up and have them ship something. Search for post code 4157 and you'll get a few locations around Brisbane that aren't big department stores.

bridie

Yes, I could do that but they are more than twice the price over here

comet555

I'm going to guess that they are probably imported hence the higher price.

I know I've seen more generic versions of the same thing around.

I have a grobag for sale- (6-18 months 2 tog) as my daughter has outgrown it. I bought the next size up when back in UK recently.

Let me know if you are interested!

At least they have offered to deliver it. I've really had the sh*ts with Amazon lately - Just about everything I've tried to order they have declined to process claiming it beaches their delivery policy. Grrrrr :curse:

I know, I've had to get a few things delivered to my parents and then they post it, which is just hassle.... I think the problem is it's not "Amazon" anymore, it's a bit like ebay where people can have their own store under the Amazon name....

Thanks Pomster, but we're after 18+ months now as she's about grown out of her current ones!!
